Examples of temporal dynamics of behaviour frequencies in groups of (a,b,c) individual, (d,e,f) social enhancement and (g,h,i) imitation-like learners. (a,d,g) Behaviour Y yielded higher maximum pay-offs (maxY = 1.2) compared with behaviour X (maxX = 1) with learning difficulty being identical for both behaviours (gb = 0.1). (b,e,h) Both behaviours had identical learning parameters gb = 0.1 and maxb = 1. (c,f,i) Behaviour Y yielded higher maximum pay-offs (maxY = 1.2) compared with behaviour X (maxX = 1) and was harder to learn (gY = 0.06) compared with behaviour X (gX = 0.1).
